I had such a great experience with Ali and Zabaan. I (American with no Hindi exposure) moved to Delhi for work and lived there for about 8 months. I signed up for Hindi classes right away and they became an integral part of my experience and getting accustomed to life in Delhi. By the end of the 8 months, I was able to read Devanagari script and write basic sentences, as well as have basic conversations with others in Hindi. Learning Hindi also helped me adjust to work as well by better understanding context and culture - even though most of my work was in English, Hindi was still present. It was also great to have the in-person options in Delhi, but also virtual options flexible in timing whenever I was traveling. Ali is an amazing teacher who is both patient and motivating. I learned a a lot about Indian history and culture from him, in addition to some great tips for travel around India. Would highly recommend Zabaan for anyone looking to learn South Asian languages.

I have been taking private hindi lessons online at Zabaan from summer 2024. I am German and I live in South Africa. Before I came to South Africa I had the opportunity to check out classes in person. From 2024 I enjoy my teachers' Vartika and Priya's excellent knowledge of hindi grammar as well as their method of teaching. I have learned a lot. Their commitment to keep improving my skills made me choose Zabaan again to further my studies for a final exam in Germany. In addition, student coordinator Olivia is always available to schedule classes and help out in any way she can. I would choose Zabaan again and again when it comes to learning hindi at ease and in a supportive environment. Thank you, Zabaan! मैं 2024 की गर्मियों से ज़बान में ऑनलाइन निजी हिंदी कक्षाएं ले रही हूँ। मैं जर्मन हूँ और मैं दक्षिण अफ्रीका में रहती हूँ। दक्षिण अफ्रीका आने से पहले मुझे व्यक्तिगत रूप से कक्षाएं देखने का अवसर मिला था। 2024 से मैं वर्तिका जी और प्रिया जी के साथ कक्षाएं ले रही हूँ। हिंदी व्याकरण के उनके उत्कृष्ट ज्ञान और उनकी शिक्षण पद्धति ने मेरे हिंदी कौशल को निखारा है। मेरे कौशल को निरंतर बेहतर बनाने की उनकी प्रतिबद्धता ने मुझे जर्मनी में परीक्षा की तैयारी के लिए फिर से ज़बान को चुनने के लिए प्रेरित किया। इसके अलावा, छात्र समन्वयक ओलिविया कक्षाओं का समय निर्धारित करने और हर मदद करने के लिए हमेशा उपलब्ध रहती हैं। जब भी हिंदी सीखने की बात आती है, तब मैं सहजता और सहयोगात्मक माहौल में ज़बान को बार-बार चुनूँगी। धन्यवाद, ज़बान!

After several months of private online Hindi lessons, I can thoroughly recommend Zabaan. My friendly, patient and knowledgeable teacher, Riya, not only provides clear explanations of grammar and vocabulary, but also presents the language within a cultural context. Classes are flexible, informative and always interesting. After years of inconsistent attempts at self-learning Hindi, thanks to Zabaan I am finally making real progress.
